My plants are growing way too tall I dont have any room left HELLLPPP!!

[CARLOS BLANCO]

I have about ten plants under a 1000watt HPS light and they are about 15in away from the light. I know this is too close but the top of the plants dont get that hot because the room gets cool air inside which help them stay cool. Im in week two of flowering and I know they are not gonna stop growing. They are like 36in. tall.

My ? is.. is thier any thing I can do right now to make them from getting super tall?? Is it too late to try and fix this problem? Eventually im gonna run out of room. FYI this is ma first indoor grow. THis pics is from last week they grew like 10in. since then.

u can take some fishing string and tie them down a bit. i grow in a mini fridge and have the problem alot. i just tie them down with string til they get finished. just tie them down alil at the start and a bit more everyday. its a quick fix for the time being

yeah its easy issue to solve. just bend the plant down at least and tie it down. i didnt tie mine and it sprung right back up.

don't top super crop just pinch and bend the stem just youtube it too see how it's done.You can super crop up to week 4 of flower by then the stretch will be over.

He can't top it he's in 2nd week of flower

they should double in size from when you put them into flower, that is when you have the control, when...you put them in flower to control the height. if based on that, you know they will get to close to the light, you will need to start bending or tying them to manipulate the way they grow

just trust me look at this

[CARLOS BLANCO]

First off thanx for the quick replyz, I knew that were ways out there to fix this problem. I just didnt know if it was too late to fix in my situation. Ima start bending them down first with fish string. Then i guess just start from their. Ima watch couple youtubez and I shud be good from their.

 

[CARLOS BLANCO]

Do I start bending it from the top or bottom of plant?

So I have only two more weeks of stretching? Or do I have them tied down all the way to harvest,,

pinch and fold a lil below the second node from the top... yes after 3-4 weeks you can untie them


hope it helps

Namate'

Dude don't top your plants in flowering. Get a trellis net or some string and pull/tie the branches away from the lights. Also try a prodcut from Humboldt County's Own called BushMaster. Use it at about 2ml/g and it should stop your vertical growth all together.
